The BMW X2 pioneered the Sports Activity Coupe (SAC) concept in the premium compact segment. Now, its second-generation model steps onto the scene, offering even greater distinctiveness, sportiness, and forward-thinking design. With significantly expanded dimensions and a pronounced coupe silhouette, the new BMW X2’s exterior design unmistakably highlights the evolutionary leap it has taken. This progressive spirit is also reflected in the fully electric BMW iX2 variant, a wide range of automated driving and parking systems, and the innovative digital services provided by the new BMW iDrive featuring QuickSelect and BMW Operating System 9.
The global market rollout is set to commence in March 2024, starting with the all-electric BMW iX2 xDrive30 and the high-performance BMW X2 M35i xDrive model, along with one petrol and one diesel option. By summer 2024, a second fully electric variant and another diesel model will be introduced to expand the lineup.
The new BMW X2 and BMW iX2 will be manufactured felxibily on a shared assembly line at the BMW Group Plant Regensburg. The high-voltage batteries required for the fully electric model are also produced at the Regensburg facility. The introduction of the BMW iX2 signifies the BMW Group’s ongoing commitment to expediting the transition to electric mobility. Furthermore, the compact Sports Activity Coupe’s premium character is enhanced by significant progress in sustainability, which covers the entire lifecycle of the vehicle – from eco-conscious production to usage and eventual recycling.
